hi

In order to use Drupal more effectively within a research supervision environment, I need a way to periodically notify my supervisors of updated content. Whilst the notify module can do such a thing, I would prefer something simpler, and that is a reminder email sent periodically directing my supervisor to a page within drupal which lists all content created and/or modified in the last (x) days (or the time since the last reminder email).

This doesn't have to be automated, so I imagine a PHP page snippet could create the page, but after looking through all the example snippets, none seem to have code related to displaying nodes from a certain time period, instead only displaying a fixed number of nodes. Perhaps this is more complicated than I thought. Any ideas to get me started?

As an even more complicated aside, is anybody aware of some sort of editorial module that will display to my supervisor a list that he/she can check off once each created/updated node has been reviewed?

regards
michael

Do you have a signle supervisor, or multiple? If it's only a single one, you could use the /admin/content page for this. If you want to make a page snippet, you could find the corresponding code in the drupal core and that would give you a good starting point.

As far as "checking things off" maybe you could use the moderation flag (i.e. things are in moderation until checked off)?
